SEGA Would Love a Shenmue HD Collection, "Currently Investigating How to Make it a Reality"

It sounds like SEGA is investigating how to bring Shenmue I & II to current generation hardware.

[DarkOcelet]

That would be awesome news. Make it a reality SEGA.

[TwoForce]

Yes, they need to do it right now. For the fan and the creator of Shenmue franchise.

[DragonDDark]

!!!!

[DEAD-DEVIL-DISCO]

Just mentioned id rather some remasters not so recent._ this is what i meant. I want it

[djlukewarm]

haven't played either of them, excited if/when this comes true

[Dabigkahuna76]

Bring it back home to the Xbox where it belongs making it exclusive to playstation is like a slap to the face just like I felt when tomb raider became a xbox exclusive

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Holy crap! You're terribly misinformed about alot of things, bro

Shenmue started on Dreamcast
Rise of the Tomb Raider is coming to PS4 this year

You mean on the platform it didn't sell out?

Gaming is a business if a game doesn't move enough units on a particular platform it's probably a wise idea to not actually created on there because Sega is such a small publisher they are also very conservative on how they spend their money and I think it's wise for them to only spend the money for a room after on PlayStation 4 and PC not only because of the installed base size but because the communities are used to purchasing Japanese content.

Sega wants a safe investment and I really can't blame them.

It's why Metal Gear Solid 2 substance released on the Xbox But Metal Gear Solid 3 and 4 didn't, it's why onimusha 1 released on the Xbox it only motion 2 and 3 and Dawn of Dreams didn't.

Companies will try it out and if it doesn't work they have no reason to keep wasting money on an install base that most likely will not purchase such a game mind you have gone almost went out of business last generation from bringing all their games multi-platform most Publishers just don't have that type of money to always gamble making a game on multiple platforms.

It's why I personally feel that could Kojima left Konami in that entire Fallout even happened might be because of Konami wanting to bring it to multiple platforms and probably saw very little return to my understanding almost 70% of all copies of Metal Gear Solid V sold on the PlayStation 4 which is absolutely crazy it means that if they had a analyst that was able to properly show them where the game was more likely to perform it was a possibility they could have saved Millions upon millions of dollars merely focusing in on a set number of platforms releasing it on multiple platforms probably heard that company more than helped. It's rumored that Metal Gear Solid V cost 80 million and with inflation over the years it's probably closer to 100 million meaning that even the prophet received from Metal Gear Solid 5 isn't enough to make another Metal Gear Solid of the exact same scale across the exact same number of platforms.

Thus they are no longer even making dedicated Triple-A console games anymore. This is a situation where I think they got it correct to be very cautious and conservative on how they spend I don't at all even the slightest blame them for feeling this way because then being very smart with their money is why they still exist in gaming.

Always remember it is Capcom that is outsourcing their games and almost went out of business, it's Konami that just quit making Triple A games. So before we go out asking Sega to release content on all platforms let's consider that conservatism is why they're even still in existence in the first place last time I remember SEGA was not out trying to release all their games on every single platform known to man Last Generation.

Will be lucky if they even make a PlayStation 4 version that even comes to the west, SEGA does not play games with their money and they invest very strict and only on sure bets.

[Dabigkahuna76]

Wow I was looking for a reaction and yours take the cake

[_-EDMIX-_]

@Dabig- lol, if you say so.

Just saying, some companies have logical, sound reasons for why they make certain decisions.

[marioJP87]

Please remaster it!

[Fin_The_Human]

I am all for remasters but they would need to tweek the gameplay a bit.

For its time it was innovative but feels very stale now and see where people would get bored.

[marioJP87]

I agree. I played it on a emulator on my laptop. Even though it was in full 1080P quality, it felt outdated. It would also be amazing to motion capture it in a remaster.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

OH HELL YES! Finally get to play these games :D

[zackdollars]

I would be happy with a widescreen format at 480p.

[conanlifts]

Yes. I would love a shenmue hd collection. I only played the first one. So yes make it happen, it was a great game.

[Vanfernal]

I think that just NEEDS to happen. Shenmue III is on the way and way too many people missed the first two games. A lot of people are going to be reluctant to jump straight into the final chapter of a trilogy. Shenmue was ahead of it's time and I hope more people get to experience these amazing games.

[TenkoTAiLS]

Didn't SEGA say this back when they started releasing those Heritage Collection games in HD like NiGHTS and Jet Set Radio. That they heard the fans loud and clear and Shenmue and Skies of Arcadia were on the short list for HD remastering...how long ago was that?

[FarEastOrient]

Still waiting for PSO2 to come to the west!! Make that possible too.

[MadMax]

Well, this would be just great news! I love Sega! I just bought another Genesis the other day after years, and will always show my support. Cant wait for some old school altered beast, shadow dancer, kid chameleon and comix zone!

[3-4-5]

* Can't play Shenmue 3 without 1&2. It's 3 chapters of a 15 chapter story.

* It would be = to watching Return of the Jedi, but never watching A New Hope or Empire Strikes Back

[rezzah]

Of course they would after seeing the success of the Kickstarter.
